May 20 #TranspoChat Features Joshua Schank on Autonomous Vehicles

The rise of autonomous vehicles will be the topic May 20 at 3:00 PM EDT when Joshua Schank, President and CEO of the Eno Center for Transportation, is the featured guest for the latest edition of IBTTA’s monthly #TranspoChat.

Autonomous transportation enthusiasts, lately including the U.S. Department of Transportation, see a promising future for self-driving vehicles. Schank took a close look at the topic in a recent blog post on the Eno Center website, then agreed to join us for the chat. We’ll ask him:

• How self-driving vehicles will transform transportation as we know it today;

• What circumstances will drive the development of the technology; and

• Whether the potential benefits of autonomous vehicles are worth the cost of research and development.
